Blind Date in Time and Space

Chapter 220 Little Lady’s Signing Party

A classic and quiet young lady faced the surprised gazes of everyone. She walked forward with lotus steps. Her skirt was fluttering and her steps were firmly inserted into her long hair. The group of people were stunned. .

Is this little beauty in ancient costume Banshu? !

What a joke!

"Son..."

The little lady looked back nervously. There were so many people, but the young master still pushed her to the front, with Sister Wan walking behind her. She didn't know how to deal with it.

"Just go into the bookstore. Everyone, give way. Mr. Banshu wants to go in!"

Chen Ji said with a smile and gave her an encouraging look.

Xia Shumin calmed down a lot.

She looked at the crowd in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and spoke in a low voice: "Dear fellow villagers, little lady..."

"Mr. Banshu is here?!"

Several old-school scholars walked out of the bookstore. Chen Ji only recognized Huang Hao from the company. It was the publishing house he contacted, so he was here today.

"Where is Mr. Banshu?"

"If you can continue to write such a high-level Dream of Red Mansions, you must have a good communication with Mr. Ban Shu today!"

"Where is Mr. Banshu? The continuation of the poem about the confiscation of the Grand View Garden..."

Seven or eight old-school scholars came out with eager expressions on their faces, eager to communicate with the author of Ban Shu's version of Dream of the Red Chamber.

But they turned around and searched, but they couldn't find the elegant, elegant, well-educated and elderly "sir" in their minds.

There was only a little girl in ancient costume, her face flushed, and she looked quite cute and delicate.

"Professor Zuo."

A man looked at Xia Shumin blankly and pointed at her: "This is Mr. Banshu..."

Seven or eight red scholars who had studied the Dream of Red Mansions all turned their eyes around with suspicious looks in their eyes.

A group of fans around who wanted to get Mr. Ban Shu's autograph were also silent.

Behind the blushing little lady, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan looked at each other and laughed together.

"Editor-in-chief! And professors."

Huang Hao quickly stood up, gestured to Xia Shumin, and said with a warm smile: "Please allow me to solemnly introduce that this person is Miss Xia Shumin, who was called Mr. Banshu after writing forty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber. Behind her. These two are our company’s chairman Chen Ji and executive president Ms. Zhou Wan!”

Huang Hao's current position is the vice president of Siwei Technology, and he is fully responsible for gaming work. His annual salary alone has risen to one million.

Compared with before, Huang Hao is now much more powerful and energetic. With a glowing face, he makes a grand introduction to everyone!

"Are you Mr. Banshu?! The continuation of Dream of Red Mansions?!"

Zuo Zhongmin, a professor of the Chinese Department of a certain university, looked at this little lady in ancient costume with wide eyes.

Are you kidding? This little girl looks like she has just entered high school. Can she continue to write Dream of Red Mansions?

Everyone was silent and looked at her.

Chen Ji didn't speak, he believed Xia Shumin.

She took a deep breath and said in a clear voice: "This little girl is not talented, she is the companion who continued to write the forty chapters of Dream of Red Mansions. Thank you all for coming to support me today!"

The polite tone made everyone unable to react for a moment.

Chen Ji smiled and said, "Let's talk after we go in first."

Huang Hao quickly asked editor Ren to make arrangements. A group of old professors and red scholars looked at each other in disbelief, but they could not find an excuse to refute. Their intuition told them that this was a farce, but the companion version of Dream of Red Mansions could really be continued. It’s so exciting that they don’t want to miss it.

As a result, a group of people poured into the bookstore.

Xia Shumin didn't even have time to see what the bookstore looked like, so she was surrounded by the crowd and came to the main seat to sit down, facing a large group of book buyers with different expressions.

Fortunately, Young Master and Sister Wan were right in the audience, so she wouldn't be at a loss.

"The characters and storylines in Dream of Red Mansions can be said to be joyful and sad, rich and poor, half life happy and half life desolate."

In the audience, Professor Zuo Zhongmin looked at Xia Shumin, shook his head and sighed: "Little girl, it's not that I don't believe you, but it's not easy to continue writing Dream of Red Mansions. Even if you have good literary talent, you can't write without life experience... Editor-in-chief Ren, are you sure she is the author?"

He even wondered if Ren Tianhua introduced a sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school girl as a gimmick today in order to promote his book and attract people's attention.

"this……"

Ren Tianhua was also shocked when he saw that such a young girl was Mr. Banshu.

Everyone was talking in low voices, and most of them looked at the stage with distrust.

"Chen Ji, do you want to do something to help a bunch of Shumin?"

Zhou Wan, who was sitting next to him, whispered to him.

Chen Ji shook his head, "Don't worry too much. Don't look at Shu Min as she is nervous and shy easily, but after all, she comes from a famous family and she is not ambiguous at all on important matters."

really.

Xia Shumin, who was questioned by others, seemed to be inspired to fight and became eloquent. He opened his mouth and said: "Gan Luo was granted the title of twelve prime ministers and captured sixteen cities for Qin; Wang Bo wrote the preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion at the age of fourteen. The champion prince attacked the Xiongnu from the north and sealed the wolf as his subordinate, but he still did not lose his crown. It can be seen that those who have achieved great things in the past and present are mostly young and talented."

Professor Zuo Zhongmin, as well as the surrounding fans and readers, were once again shocked when he quoted from the classics and heard the clear voice.

But it's not over yet.

"Shu Min is now sixteen. He was literate at the age of three and wrote poetry at the age of six, and read the Six Classics at the age of ten. Shu Min once lived in the capital with his father. In the past ten years, he has witnessed the rise and fall of officialdom, and learned many things about the world from his mother. In addition, there have been many editions of Dream of Red Mansions before. When Shumin was thirteen, he read through no less than a hundred editions. After that, he gathered the talents of various experts and wrote this sequel that Shumin considers himself satisfied with. If Mr. If you don’t believe it, you can ask based on the content written in the first eighty chapters of Dream of Red Mansions.”

She finished the long words in one breath, and without saying a word, her momentum increased. After she finished speaking, the doubts of everyone in the audience were suppressed by the amazing momentum of her petite body.

A group of old professors and red scholars were surprised and surprised.

Zhou Wan witnessed this scene and glanced at Chen Ji again. How did this guy find such a talented young lady?

"What you said makes sense."

Zuo Zhongmin's brows widened. This little girl looked quiet, but in fact she was very eloquent. She was a bit like those female writers who quarreled in newspapers during the Republic of China in the last century.

People who read a lot can still not understand when they scold someone.

The little girl in front of me was equally unambiguous in her rebuttal, which shows that she has read a lot of books and has great literary talent.

"Then tell me, why did you arrange for the Grand View Garden to be ransacked like that? You also need to write about Sister Feng's return to the soul. I wrote it in the previous article..."

Zuo Zhongmin began to "fight" with this little girl.

Yes, it’s a battle of wits.

Even if Xia Shumin clearly stated that she was writing a continuation of Dream of Red Mansions, not the original work, but if she wanted to be recognized by the Red Mansion community as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who was actually capable of continuing to write Dream of Red Mansions and have it published, she had to pass him.

Otherwise, Dream of Red Mansions would be nothing more than a piece of cake?

"There are already foreshadowings before Sister Feng returns to her soul."

Xia Shumin was not afraid and "quarreled" with Zuo Zhongmin, more than a dozen professors and red scholars, and a large group of fans of Dream of Red Mansions books from all walks of life.

During this period, she quoted various classics and frequently came up with good sentences.

In the end, everyone in the huge bookstore actually shut up.

A group of people can't quarrel with her.

Zuo Zhongmin was convinced. He cupped his hands towards Xia Shumin, who was wearing ancient clothes on the stage and drinking water to moisten his throat. He said with emotion: "Mr. Ban Shu is very knowledgeable. I, a professor of the Chinese Department, have not read as many ancient classics as him. I am so interested." Many of the ancient texts spoken by the gentleman are unheard of. I am convinced to continue writing the Dream of Red Mansions with his literary talent!"

Everyone nodded.

Nowadays, few people address female teachers as sir. Xia Shumin is probably the youngest teacher.

The words made the young lady on the stage blush, and she hurriedly replied: "The old man praised me, but the young lady just read a few more books."

Her literary tone made her fans and readers couldn't help laughing.

"I find that I have accepted that Miss Banshu is the continuation author of Dream of Red Mansions. What should I do if I think it is simply great?"

A girl looked at the cute and elegant Xia Shumin on the stage with shining eyes.

"It's amazing to think about it. A girl with such a temperament actually continued to write the Dream of Red Mansions. Miss Banshu will be my idol from now on!"

"She calls herself a little girl, but she's not unconventional at all. She's so cute. Oh my god, how can there be a girl who talks so cutely and looks so cute?!"

The guys were still reserved, but the girls started screaming.

The autograph session is originally a promotional event for fans.

Reporters on the scene took pictures one after another and posted them on Weibo and major websites. They had a hunch that today’s autograph signing would be a hit.

Editor-in-chief Ren was grinning from ear to ear. The bookstore that provided the venue also seized the opportunity. After asking for permission from Xia Shumin and Chen Ji, they immediately took out pens, ink, paper and inkstones and asked Xia Shumin to write a few words on the spot as a souvenir.

No one would doubt whether Xia Shumin, who has read so many poetry books, can write calligraphy.

But the calligraphy skills that Miss Banshu showed next were still astounding.

I saw her skillfully picking up the writing brush, holding her long and wide sleeves with her left hand, and writing gracefully on the large paper one stroke at a time, writing down one after another in small regular script.

"Huh?"

From the first word she wrote, the bookstore manager showed a surprised expression.

This piece of paper was originally only used to write a few words. It was framed and hung on the wall with Miss Shu's signature.

But judging from her intention, it seems that she wants to write a long article?

"All the talents have arrived, the young and the old have gathered together, here is..."

Chen Ji, Zhou Wan, and everyone gathered around her to watch.

Obviously, Xia Shumin wrote an ancient article.

First write the preface to explain the situation of today's book signing, and then write about the people and events.

It is eloquent, and the ancient prose of more than 300 words is written in one go. There are occasional smears in the middle, which is within normal limits. The writing is very beautiful.

When she finished writing the signature and raised her head after putting down the pen, everyone was completely stunned.

"No wonder people are able to continue the Dream of Red Mansions, with their ancient literary skills... hiss!"

The way people looked at her changed again.

"Great article!"

Professor Zuo praised.

If he wanted to say anything else, the bookstore manager couldn't wait to say: "Miss Banshu, our store is willing to spend 500,000 yuan to buy your ink. What do you think?!"

He firmly believes that Miss Ban Shu will be a big hit, and the continuation of Dream of Red Mansions and the ancient article she wrote today will also be a big hit. Not to mention the technique and content of this article, just buying the ink for 500,000 yuan is enough. Let the reputation of his bookstore spread widely, attracting countless people to visit.

"Half a million?!"

The little lady who had just finished writing the article was suddenly attracted by this number. She subconsciously asked: "I wonder how many taels of silver are five hundred thousand?"

"silver?"

The manager of Liaoying Bookstore looked stunned.

"Ahem!"

Chen Ji quickly interrupted the topic, "If you want to sell it, sell it. The price of 500,000 yuan is not bad."

The little lady made money by writing novels in Yongkang County. Now her inkblots can be sold for half a million yuan. It's strange that she is not tempted.

Seeing that after she finished writing, there was a fine drop of fragrant sweat on the tip of her small nose and smooth forehead. Chen Ji picked up a piece of tissue and wiped it carefully for her.

"Son..."

Xia Shumin forgot about making money and bowed her head shyly with a smile.

Fans and readers all around exclaimed that the dog food is so delicious.

After writing the article, the book signing will begin normally.

Strictly speaking, today was just a promotional event. The publishing house only brought 500 books. Xia Shumin signed from noon to four o'clock in the afternoon before finally finishing the signing. There was basically no rest in the middle. She even had lunch with Chen Ji and Zhou Wan. to solve.

This is also her first time eating takeout on Earth.

"Master, Sister Wan, let's go?"

As soon as the autograph session ended, Xia Shumin hurriedly left.

After going to the garage and getting into the Mercedes-Benz, she breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief.

It is not difficult to guess that Mr. Banshu is really afraid of these enthusiastic fans and readers.

The large bookstore that can accommodate more than a thousand people is packed with people, and there are more and more people. Even if there are only 500 books, they can't stop it.

"Will you come next time?"

Chen Ji suppressed a smile and said: "If you want to make more money, you need to fly to more cities to promote. This will be the case in the next two to three months."

"Two or three months!?"

The little lady opened her eyes wide.

"Don't listen to him." Zhou Wan hit him and said with a smile: "He is rich now. I also put 200 million in his card. He will sign a contract tomorrow and earn tens of billions more. Shumin doesn’t need to be so tired.”

"Oh... Young Master and Sister Wan still make more money."

Xia Shumin gave up.

She didn't want to participate in such publicity activities for two or three months. It was so tiring. Since the young master was rich, she should let him support the family in the future. She could just take care of the servants in the family.

"Shall we go to dinner now?"

Zhou Wan asked, she looked and was in a good mood now, and attending this autograph session was like a vacation for her.

"Going to Sister Wan's house?"

Xia Shumin suggested.

"Do you still remember this?"

"Of course, Sister Wan, you told me this morning."

"Chen Ji, what do you think?"

"Okay, let's go and sit tight!"

The two beauties in the back seat of the car made a decision. Chen Ji naturally would not object and drove the Mercedes out of the garage.

"Shu Min, how did you come up with the idea of ​​writing that piece "Book and Shadow Ode"?"

"Then the store owner was the first to give me pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Shouldn't I write an article in return?"

"Ah? Was there such a rule in ancient times?"

"The store is not the organizer of this promotional event?"

"Hehe, no, no, it's us!"

Zhou Wan couldn't help but laugh again. Shu Min still didn't understand many things about modern society, so he would have to teach him patiently for a while in the future.

but.

It is not good for her to stay in modern society, in case she stays here for a month and returns to Zhao country a hundred years later.

I will teach her slowly in the future.

The car drove all the way, and half an hour later we arrived at Linjiang Community, Binjiang Imperial View.

Xia Shumin, who came to the financial center for the first time, was stunned.

She had also seen high-rise buildings in the last days, but the night was different from the day. The glass curtain walls of the buildings under the sun exuded a dazzling light. The bustling river view, the most shocking scene of the modern city, was displayed directly in front of her.

"Does Shumin want to live here?"

Zhou Wan smiled at her, pointed at the river and said, "The river view will be more beautiful at night. I will take you up to see it later!"

"Uh-huh!"

Xia Shumin nodded excitedly, held her hand and chatted with her.

Chen Ji had a strange look on his face. Did Zhou Wan want the young lady to live in her top-floor duplex tonight?

The car was parked, the three of them got out of the car and took the elevator to the top floor.

Xia Shumin watched Zhou Wan use her fingerprints and face to open the thick and heavy door, and a large and luxuriously decorated house appeared inside.

The big shining chandelier, the bright floor, the huge windows that could see the building and the river outside the window, it was only a small two-story building, and there were no groups of servants, but it made her feel like this place The level of luxury is no less than that of her home.

After all, this is a bustling big city, on the top floor of a high-rise building.

"so high……"

Xia Shumin, wearing an underskirt, stood one meter away in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, standing on tiptoes and looking into the distance, full of wonder.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan couldn't help laughing.

The little lady did not dare to go near the floor-to-ceiling windows for fear that the windows would be broken.

"Sister Wan, how bright should such a big lamp be at night?"

"Sister Wan, do you live here with the young master? Oh, you live alone without servants?"

Chen Ji followed the two of them, listening to the curious little lady asking questions one after another. Looking at these two beauties, one tall and one short, but both with excellent figures and temperaments, he couldn't help but sigh:

Sure enough, we should buy a big house, otherwise Xia Shumin would not be suitable to live in it. She should live in such a big house, just like her family's villa in Hongye Mountain.

Did the agent find a suitable house? urgent!

"There's more up there."

Zhou Wan took Xia Shumin up to the second floor and showed her the floor-to-ceiling windows where she usually stayed, as well as the tea table, sofa and bookshelf by the window. She said that she liked to read a book and enjoy the river view in the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room on the second floor after taking a shower at night.

The little lady's eyes shone when she heard this, full of envy and yearning.

Zhou Wan finally tried to ask: "How do you like it? Do you want to live here tonight? In the future, you will also live here with your young master. I will temporarily let you live in this apartment until you buy a house. No rent is required~!" "

good.

She wants Chen Ji and Xia Shumin to live in her house!

No need to exchange them again and again.
